That slash call on Heater was borderline, but no more so than the hook on Hossa that gave SJ the 5-3 that resulted in a goal...so whatever.And to be fair, last night in game 4, they finally made up for it a little.

My only problem was the lack of calls against SJ. Yes they were very disciplined, but there was a lot of "No calls" that very easily could have been penalties against the Sharks. What's good for the goose...I completely agree that every penalty called against the Hawks was 100% legit. A couple were maybe a little borderline, but legit all the same.

I agree with your comments on the officiating but even with the couple veteran refs still skating there are still big time questionable calls being made. Honestly I feel they have no idea what to call at times. Have they been told to make games close and competitive? Have they been told to make even up calls? It seems to be a pattern that if a team gets 3 in a row you can bet your bottom dollar the opposition will be getting some make up calls.
As to Czechs that was unreal and I truly do enjoy seeing Ovechkin going down...AGAIN....
Lastly I had an argument on Twitter last night, I said that Kane > Heatley
Took some slack for that but I backed it up, Kane is 7 or 8 years younger, makes less money, equaled Heater in pts the last 2 years. Kane is faster, plays much better 2 way hockey (improved a lot) Heatley has played with SPezza/Alfie and Thornton/Marleau and still Kane matched him.
In Heatley's defence he will get 9-10 more goals then Kane that's what the guy came back at me with lol. Sure I may be a bit biased but not much, I truly do feel Kane > Heatley.@Dan

Did Ottawa fans in general hate Heatley when he was in Ottawa as well? I did not see a ton of Ottawa games and really had no clue how Sens fans treated him vise versa.@Kevin

Selfish player who can't seem to understand the team concept. However, I'd say the biggest prick in the NHL is Dan Carcillo...Yeah, he’s done nothing to disprove what I’ve said about him all along.

I was sooo nervous in the last 3 games, but they prevailed, thanks the powers that be!!! Gotta say that while Jagr didn't put up a huge number of points, he was still dominant with the puck and looks like he could still be a force in the NHL. Too bad he re-upped with Avangard Omsk for another season... Would love to see him back on Broadway...Yeah, some real heart shown by the Czechs.

He disappearted when the going got tough and took his typical 2 or 3 selfish penalties per game this series. The guy is a ME guy and a selfish player that nobody should want on their team. Nice move Doug Wilson, you are stuck with the biggest prick in the NHL!Oh, and you gotta love Dany Deusch Bag losing. He got rocked in Game 4 yesterday so nicely.

Dan RakusanMon, 24 May 2010 03:52:33 +0000http://prosportsblogging.com/?p=7461#comment-6218I have stated this before, and will do so again, just to simplify this debate about the pitifully poor officiating the NHL playoffs have seen thus far. The top two senior officials retired, and 4 others are injured, so we're left to either postpone the playoffs until such a time as there are adequate officials, or just deal with the fact that we're going to see bad calls made on both sides of any particular partisan equator you want to be on. The only thing that bothers me about the officiating lately is the amount of obvious offsides not getting called... A monkey could probably fill in for some of these linesmen and get the call right, although I will say that it's not a job I could do very well... Maybe a monkey is better than me, but I've always thought that Lucy the Gorilla was fairly smart for learning over 2,000 words in sign language and then teaching it to her kids. I can't get mine to speak like normal folk with even bribery...
But I digress.....
How about them HAWKS AND CZECHS!!!! Well done by both teams, especially the Hawks, who were playing in the biggest hockey tourney. The Czechs were, however, playing against the best all-star team in their respective tourney, and came out on top.
Everyone is happy in my house, other than my wife, who was cheering for Russia. Guess we'll definitely be stuck at 2 kids for now...LOL...I have stated this before, and will do so again, just to simplify this debate about the pitifully poor officiating the NHL playoffs have seen thus far.
